Packing and the going away party
Waking up in Nik arms wrapped around her waist and with her head on his chest, had been a good start to Bella's morning. Sharing a shower before having breakfast and packing for their trip was fun since most of what was packed involved Nik's art supplies and a few books from Bella's horde. It had been a few hours since waking up and Bella could be found leaning against the front door frame watching Nik give last minute instructions for the designs of the mansion. Maddox was loading her jeep with their bags when her phone rang and caught the others attention. Looking at the screen of her phone she noticed Damon's name across the screen as she answered the call and put it on speakers so her twin could hear what was being said as well.
"So I know you were suppose to be leaving for your trip soon but I was wondering if you wished to start it off with a bit of a bang." Damon's voice rang out as her twin closed the back of her jeep.
"I was following my brother around town in an attempt to piss him off as usual when we caught sight of a red headed cold one feeding in an alleyway. Before we could do anything she took off, Stefan stayed behind to take care of the body but I followed her back to the campus we had tracked the other cold ones too. So I was just wondering if cold one bonfires sounded like a good send off to the three of you?" Bella tilted her head at Nik as he smirked before looking at her twin who was smirking as well.
"We'll be there soon don't start the party with out us," Bell spoke as they walked to the jeep Klaus choosing to drive.
"Yeah, yeah I'll stay out of the building until you get here." Damon answered before hanging up. The ride in the jeep was made even quicker with an illusion on the jeep stopped anyone from seeing it which made things like speed limit a none issue.
Nik parked the jeep next to Damon's baby as they got out of the jeep they looked around for Damon and spotted standing directly across the street from one of the building and directly in front of its door. Bella coming to stop next to Damon tilted her head as she began to see what the others couldn't. She already expected to not see any of the cold ones but she was not expecting to see three human auras flickering in and out of her sight with the pain coming from all three she could tell they were turning. She also didn't expect to see a vampire withing the same area of the building who also was in pain and from the looks of it starving what interested her even more was the bond that seemed to be straining the distance between the vampire and Damon whose half of the bond was blocked by what Bella had long ago associated with the off switch as Damon had described it. Realization hit her that his switch had been ordered to be turned off by his mate and only his mate could cause it to turn back on since he could no longer feel the bond he assumed his mate was dead not knowing that he would be dead no matter the switch flip if his mate was as well.
"What are you seeing? Because I keep seeing a cage and five others arguing on how to get out." Damon tensed at Maddox's words, Bella placed a hand on his shoulder getting him to look away from the building to meet her gaze.
"I can't see cold ones auras with out making direct contact but I can see that three others are in the middle of changing if their flickering in and out of my sight is any indication. There also seemed to be a surprise in the cage but it's not a threat." Looking to over towards Nik she finished talking, "Maddox and I can take care of the three that are turning and the one in the cage while you and Damon have fun with the five cold ones that are present. I'm sure between the four of us we can burn the building to the ground just to be on the safe side shouldn't be to much of a hassle."
The smirk and grin she received from both Damon and Nik told her all she needed to know as she stepped of the side walk and headed towards the building. As she reached the door she saw Nik reach around her saying, "After you, love." as he opened the door giving him a grin Bella slipped into the building and headed straight for the stairs. Once they reached the basement Bella looked to her left and spotting the fire alarm she pulled the handle deciding to give the humans on the upper floors a fair chance of getting out of the building. As she came to a stop in front of the door that separated them from the cold ones Bella meet Victoria's gaze through the small window. Bella couldn't hear the growl she let out but the others who had been arguing around Victoria stopped and turned to face what she had been growling at. With a grin Bella lifted her hand and wiggled her fingers in greeting just as Damon chuckled at her and broke the security card handle to the door and pushed it open.
Just as Bella could now hear the screaming coming from the three changing Bella blinked and Damon and Klaus began playing with the five and every now and then a metal like tearing noise could be heard. Bella looked at her brother before walking over to the farthermost cage knowing that's where the vampire was. She could feel the heat on her back as Maddox set the three changing on fire and continued to keep it burning as the bodies turned to ash though their screaming was replaced by the shrieks and growls of the others as they were played with mostly by Damon who recognized the symbols on two or three of their lab coats and was using the fight to throw them into any equipment in sight in between tearing off chunks and limbs. While Nik kept a tight grip on Victoria's hair and seemed to be watching for her reactions to the bite he gave her.
Bella crouched down to the male vampires level watching as hope and love sprung up as well as confusion as he tried looking around her to keep his eyes on Damon. Bella used his distraction with watching Damon to start pushing her powers into the ground and through the cracks of the floor green vines began to creep along the floor. His attention was only drawn to her as a vine grew into his view and the bars started to creak as the vines began pulling them from the wall and the floor. Bella met his eyes with a smirk before standing up and as she walked backwards began to raise her arms. Slowly the vines pulled the bars from the floor and the wall towards her like a garage door by bending the bars at the top. Once it was high enough Bella allowed the vines to retreat not wanting them to be caught in the fire that Maddox was now spreading.
Bella felt movement beside her before blinking and seeing Damon kneeling next to the male with his hands on his face as if the touch would confirm his physical presences. Hearing the final shrieks behind her Bella takes two steps forward before speaking to the two mates. " Fun fact flipping your switch blocks the mate bond along with the emotions so the person can no longer tell if their mate is alive with their switch off. Also only way for them to turn it back on is their mate," Bella felt an arm wrap around her waist before she looked over to her brother who was standing by the exit. "Damon get him to the car so you can have your reunion you can introduce him later it will give you a reason to meet up with us on our trip. My twin and I will make sure that nothing in the building is left standing."
As Damon disappeared with his mate Bella wrapped her arm under Nik's and around his waist in turn before walking over to her twin. As they headed towards the stairs the both throw large fire balls into the room. Making sure to catch fire to things along the way as they reached the exit of the building Bella flicked her wrist towards the humans and with some concentration began keeping them from putting out the fire until the entire building began to fall inwards due to the flames. They stayed long enough to confirm their was nothing left of the structure before getting in the jeep and heading towards one of the packs Tyler suggested to allow Nik's pack to grow.
